Cecily couldn't even remember some of the photos.Austin must have put in a lot of effort to gather these photos!The proposal she wanted wasn't anything grand. She was yearning for snapshots of memories like this, which carried a lot of tenderness.As more photos appeared on the screen, the song "You, Who Sat Next to Me" started playing on both sides of the stage.In an instant, the song reminded Cecily of her days in college.Memories began to flood her mind.The scenes of the past kept appearing in her mind, just like the photos on the screen.Her already red and swollen eyes gradually turned moist again.Austin lifted his hand, gently wiping away the moisture in the corners of Cecily's eyes. "Silly Cecily, are you sure you want to cry just because of this?""Isn't this enough?" Cecily returned the question.She couldn't even remember some of the photos taken. It wasn't hard to imagine how hard Austin worked to gather all the photos.However, Austin smiled. "You're my wom
"Cecily, thank you for not abandoning me."When Austin's gentle voice rang out, Cecily finally shuddered as she came to her senses.Amid the fireworks and the rain of flowers, Cecily slowly lowered her head and looked at Austin, who was kneeling on one knee.At that moment, Cecily felt as if she and Austin were the only people left in this world.Even the roaring sounds of the five helicopters above them had disappeared from her senses."You have waited for three years, and your long-lasting love finally has an answer."Austin was very earnest, and his voice was extremely gentle.He spoke steadily, and his voice had an attractive quality to it. Cecily was enamored."I've said this before. You've used your whole life as a wager, so how could I bear to let you lose?"From today onward, I hope that you'll always be by my side!"When he said the last sentence, Austin took out the diamond ring he had already prepared early on.Under the brilliant lights, he slowly opened the box.
This scene easily trumped the various scenes preceding it.The dazzling light lit up the whole place."Sir… what are you waiting for?"Under the curtain of light, Ezra reminded Austin, who was still awestruck.Austin smiled. He hastily put the ring on Cecily's ring finger.After getting up, he pulled Cecily into his embrace. He smiled gently, saying, "From today onward, you belong only to me."Cecily watched everything play out before her eyes in fascination.Everything that had happened tonight made her feel like she was in a dream.The roar of the fighter jets combined with the various colors of light reminded her of a rainbow.She only ever dared to fantasize about such things in her dreams.She had imagined a knight in shining armor coming over to marry her while riding on a horse that trotted along a rainbow bridge.But now, it had turned into reality!Austin wasn't wearing armor, but he was wearing a suit and leather shoes.But the rainbow truly existed in front of h
When the darkness faded and Edward could finally see Ezra clearly, Edward felt like he was struck by lightning. He was instantly shocked.In that fleeting moment, his mind turned blank, and huge waves crashed in his heart.This person was… Ezra Lockwood?In the past few years, Edward had wished to meet the head of the Campbell family countless times.But in the end, when he stood before the gates of the Campbell residence, Ezra had always been the one who dealt with him.He knew Ezra well enough.Ezra was the trusted household staff member of the head of the Campbell family!But… Why was Ezra here?Edward was dazed, and his face turned red.His breaths quickened, and he panted heavily.Suddenly, he tripped and almost fell to the floor. But fortunately, Rachel helped him up.Somewhere nearby, Derrick was shocked when he saw that scene.Timothy and Samuel simply exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.As Edward's best friends, of course, they knew that Edward had wished to m
"Mr. Lockwood, I never thought that I'd meet you here."He behaved in an extremely respectful manner.Austin and the others were shocked when they saw that. They were completely frozen.Derrick, who was standing at the edge of the stage nearby, shuddered. He said in reprimand, "What is Edward doing? He's supposed to meet his daughter's mother-in-law, so why did he greet the old man at the side instead?""There's more to that old man than meets the eye!" Timothy smiled calmly.Onstage, Rachel was the first to return to her senses. She hastily faked a cough and said, "Edward, mind your manners."They had originally gone onstage to meet Austin's mother.But instead of greeting Dahlia, Edward greeted the old man in front of him first. This was an extremely rude thing to do!However, Edward put on a stern expression as he said, "You know nothing, Rachel."Rachel's pretty face turned pale, and she was at a loss for words.Ezra glanced awkwardly at Austin and Dahlia. Then, he smiled
Rachel was caught off guard, and she didn't know what to do.Edward glared at her. "If you don't hit me, I'll hit you instead!"The slap rang loud and clear in the air.Covering his cheek, Edward whirled around. He almost tripped and fell to the ground.Edward covered his red and swollen cheek. Instead of getting angry, he laughed. "Haha… It's real! It's all real!""You were the one who told me to hit you!"Rachel felt anxious as she watched Edward laugh. "Cecily, has your dad gone crazy?"Cecily was shocked as well, and she was extremely worried.Just then, Timothy and the others approached them.When Edward saw Timothy and Samuel, he suddenly smiled as he walked over to them. He gave them a firm hug."Timothy, Samuel, thank you so much for advising me back then!"He meant every word he said, and he didn't even hide his elation.For the past few years, he was never allowed entry into the Campbell family. But to his surprise, in the blink of an eye, his daughter had brought
Cecily Enterprises had reached a bottleneck in their development. No matter how they thrived internationally, they still couldn't make it past the bottleneck!And the Campbells were the best choice for Cecily Enterprises to break through!In an instant, Cecily felt something buzzing in her mind. Her pretty eyes shimmered as she took in a sharp breath.She thought, "Austin… is from that Campbell family? Goodness! How long has that silly Austin kept this from me?""Come, let's leave this place first. The journalists at the foot of the mountain are probably losing it."Edward waved his hand, leading the way to the car. "Our family is truly blessed to have received a godlike son-in-law. The events today must be known to all!"…The whole city was paying attention to the goings-on in Heavensgate Hill.The grand fireworks, the rain of flowers brought by the helicopters, and the rainbow bridge that was constructed along with the roar of the fighter jets were all shocking enough.The
The night passed in silence.The shocking scene on Heavensgate Hill attracted the attention of the entire city.Many women who were filled with envy stayed up all night.As the morning sun rose, Austin had already finished his grueling training and returned home with Aldus, just in time to find Ezra watching the morning news."Sir, they're broadcasting what happened last night," Ezra informed enthusiastically. Austin shrugged as he replied, "They probably won't show much. There's nothing worth seeing."Ezra chuckled and picked up his phone."The media may not have much to show, but these anchors can certainly come up with something," he hummed.Hearing that, Austin got closer to him to take a look, only to burst into laughter."Shocking News! Heavensgate Hill's Overnight Scandal: Mysterious Protagonist Sparks Speculations!"While what happened on Heavensgate Hill was true, the subsequent reports about Austin, the party involved, were entirely fabricated.Some even indulged
